My daughter is having problems with Immigration. My Mum Dad

Customer Question

My daughter is having problems with Immigration. My Mum Dad and I emigrated to Australia in 1968. I married a naturalised Australian and in 1969 my daughter was born in 1969 in Sydney. We returned to England in 1975 my daughter and I had a joint British passport. She has been claiming State benefits since she was 18. To cut a long story short she was able to get an Australian passport and went abroad with her partner. When she returned her passport was stamped 'no recourse to public funds' and her benefits stopped. She asked me for my birth certificate in the hope in applying for a British passport on the advice of her solicitor but that has been refused saying she is not British. She has no money and the threat of being deported. Can you help please?

Hello,If you were born in the UK, your daughter would be a British citizen by descent.I would suggest that she apply for Nationality Status confirmation using form NShttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-confirmation-of-british-nationality-status-form-nsThe fee is £162 and it needs to be paid using this formhttps://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/441236/master_fees_leaflet_2015_02_07_15.pdfOnce she receives confirmation of her British Citizenship, she should not have trouble obtaining her passport.I suggest that she lodges the NS application herself if possible without using a solicitor.All the best
